Description
2011/12 Moving Cache Race Entrant.
Big Blue Frog.
OK, so he isn't THAT big, but he IS blue. Big Blue frog likes music (of course!), and wants to roam around, listening to different music, so play him your favourite when you meet him!
I'M IN LOVE WITH A BIG BLUE FROG
Artist(Band):

I'm in love with a big blue frog,
A big blue frog loves me.
It's not as bad as it appears
He wears glasses and he's six foot three.
Well I'm not worried about our kids,
I know they'll turn out neat.
They'll be great lookin' 'cause they'll have my face,
great swimmers 'cause they'll have his feet!
Well I'm in love with a big blue frog,
A big blue frog loves me.
He's not as bad as he appears,
He's got rhythm and a PhD.
Well I know we can make things work
He's got good fam'ly sense.
His mother was a frog from Philadelphia
His daddy an enchanted prince.
The neighbours are against it and it's clear to me
And it's prob'ly clear to you
They think value on their property will go right down
If the family next door is blue.
Well I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
I've got it tattooed on my chest
It says P.H.R.O.G. (It's frog to me!)

Logs
Unfortunately this one escaped me, I searched GZ and then a large area around it but all to no avail. Let's hope I just missed him.
Found but did not move....
he jumped into my lap from a passing car!

We went for a drive to Rathmines and as soon as we opened the door of the nar near the water he jumped out and refused to leave the tree he was nestled against.
Back with Shifter Brains, should be moved along soon.
Arriving with Shifter Brains this afternoon.
The big blue frog has been residing on my dining room table en route to his next location. This would have to be the easiest cache we've ever logged!

Found this little hopper in the hands of Noo82 in Kyogle NSW - heading South into NSW. Great cache, and still in such good condition. Nice to see that the frogs are still racing. Thanks Just a Cacher!

Big Blue frog has found a cosy spot not far from public transport. He/she might be a bit dry now so someone might like to get hopping and place him/her nearer some water.
Found this afternoon. Had to patiently wait for local (as in resident of house 2 metres from cache) finished his cigarette and went inside before lifting this cache.
New home for our big blue friend tomorrow.

A quick stay but a happy one, he kept my desk occupied while I attended meetings and essential caffeine runs at work today. Dropped at the location of numerous other frogs' repose at the base of an oleander tree, next to "Ninja skills" http://coord.info/GC2N1NT. Took the existing resident, "Frog on a log"
Hooray, he was there, tucked in a hollow. I had widened the search when I looked the other day, but it was a bit dark, so I am pleased to have found him.
Especially all the more pleased, as this is my 200th GCA log! I have a couple of locationless logs to upload the photos for from my recent holiday, but Woohoo! 200!
I'm going to take Big Blue to a nearby pond and let him loose.

Big Blue is still there. Went back this morning and took another reading (this time not my phone).
Near the first Bay on the left.

My only DNF of the evening. I could not see this one at the base of any tree in the area. It was starting to get dark, so I decided 11 frogs was a good haul for one night. I hope he's there though, it's a nice spot to visit.
GCA 249 - 4449. Another Frog located and signed off !
